Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 3-4
Big Al has been shot, and Ace Hardlight (that tool) has sabotaged our escape plan. Unfortunately, we have no other recourse except to continue participating in Dreadzone, if only to buy a bit more time. https://youtu.be/6qeM1aj_tsM Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I must admit, as a child playing this game,...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 3-3
Already, we are confronted with another Exterminator. Maybe this one will finally give us the challenge we seek. https://youtu.be/8DED4Xdl_Oo Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud The more I think about it, the more it makes sense for a combat-focused Ratchet and Clank to scale down on the number of weapons. Inevitably,...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 3-2
Reactor's had an unfortunate meltdown, so it's time to progress to the next Dreadzone campaign. https://youtu.be/wMYbeONbtkw Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud In case you're curious, here is the link to Brandon the Hedgehog aka He Who Wields the Toonblade. I unironically enjoy these "which game is best" conversations. As long as...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 3-1
The second exterminator has stepped up to the plate, but he doesn't get much of a… reaction for us. Aha. Aha. Aha. Ah-HAAAAH! https://youtu.be/tsgyig4FzCM Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I had forgotten how mediocre all of the bosses in this combat-focused Ratchet and Clank game were. None of their attacks are...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 2-4
Now that we qualify for the rank of Avenger, we have access to more Dreadzone campaigns. So let's complete them so that we can qualify for another match with an Exterminator. https://youtu.be/yyBnm7F8iuo Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud Sometimes one just finds a weapon that feels good in the hand. For...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 2-3
By terminating the Exterminator Shellshock, we've qualified to challenge the Battledrome, that we may rise up to the rank of Avenger. Team Darkstar...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 2-2
At long last, we arrive at our first boss fight against one of Vox's Exterminators. This one calls himself Shellshock, but I'm unimpressed. Let's send him straight to the scrap heap! https://youtu.be/NJis3dWtQuU Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud What was most surprising to me was how little that actual boss in this...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 2-1
Thankfully, I was able to fix the issues we were having with Deadlocked. Although I have the Uncharted trilogy at the ready as a fallback, we're able to continue our Dreadzone campaigns in Ratchet: Deadlocked. https://youtu.be/hURVQT6wH-A Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I think it's clear that the reason the enemies...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 1-2
Our time in the Dreadzone continues, as we fight for our freedom from Gleeman Vox, and his hyper-capitalistic (even by Ratchet and Clank standards) media empire. https://youtu.be/8cCEPGCqtCo Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud I confess part of why I never promised to play through Deadlocked is because I was concerned I...
Ratchet: Deadlocked – Part 1-1
I admit, when Sunday night rolled around and I knew it was streaming day, I wasn't sure what I was going to play. Seeing Ratchet: Deadlocked on my shelf, the thought occurred to me to see if it was working, and much to my delight...
